China’s Premier Li Qiang to Attend 5th Global Digital Trade Expo in Hangzhou
The Premier's presence elevates a digital trade expo into a signal of policy priority, which matters for cross-border data, digital payments and platform regulation — the plumbing that RWA and crypto firms depend on to operate in China. It affects foreign digital-trade participants and domestic platforms watching for regulatory tone rather than new rules. The open question is whether the speech moves beyond trade promotion toward concrete cross-border data or digital-asset frameworks.
